Tek Screws Self Tapping

The Tek screws self tapping, also known as self-drilling screws, feature a drill point tip that eliminates the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in sheet metal and other materials. By combining drilling and tapping into a single operation, these product dramatically simplify assembly workflows in automotive body shops, metal roofing, HVAC ductwork, and electrical panel manufacturing. They are a cornerstone for efficient, cost-effective production in sheet metal assembly.

The defining characteristic of a Tek screws self tapping is its drill point, available in various lengths (e.g., #2, #3, #5) to penetrate different material thicknesses. The screw shank has tapping threads that follow the drill point to form mating threads. They are primarily designed for fastening light to medium gauge steel, aluminum, and other metals to metal, providing strong, reliable joints.

Our Tek screws self tapping are produced according to industry standards, ensuring reliable drill point hardness and thread strength. They are commonly made from hardened carbon steel, often with a phosphate or zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance and smooth driving. We also offer stainless steel (A2) variants for exterior or corrosive applications. A hex washer head or Phillips drive is typical, allowing for high-torque installation with standard power tools.
